Remember that homemade vegan lemon curd we made last week? As much as I loved eating it on toast and straight off the spoon, I was ready to turn it into something else, like waffles! I’ve been stuck in a breakfast rut lately (granola and toast, everyday for the past week), so upping my breakfast game with waffles seemed like a perfect solution. Add sliced almonds for crunch and pretty raspberries for a little more sweetness and I think I’ve found the ideal summertime waffle.
Honestly, I didn’t think a waffle iron was necessary for the longest time. Aren’t waffles just like pancakes, but with nooks and crannies? NOPE. They are so much better. All those pockets and crannies are perfect places to hold a smear of salty butter or a little pool of real deal maple syrup (my family buys ours by the giant gallons in Northern WI, since we go through it like crazy), something pancakes just can’t compete with. So, if you are a doubter and think a waffle iron isn’t totally necessary to add to your kitchen tools, just back that thought up and get yourself an iron. You won’t regret it.
In the words of the honorable Leslie Knope ‘We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work.’ Enjoy your Tuesday friends!

Waffles are so much better than pancakes. No question. And the combination of lemon and raspberry sounds delightful.

Oh heck yes, waffles are completely different from pancakes…I love filling the little holes with whatever topping I’m using so that they just explode in flavor in my mouth. That lemon curd is definitely on my To Do list! Peace, love, and waffles xo

kathryn @ the scratch artist says
Goodness, these look good! I’m perpetually stuck in a breakfast rut. I live in a breakfast rut. A peanut butter filled rut! Anytime I try to eat something for breakfast that doesn’t have peanut butter, I end up eating two breakfasts. I need my morning pb (homemade of course). But I will definitely be trying these waffles for dinner ? lemon curd….yum!
The Frosted Vegan says
I am right there with you! I actually ran out of homemade peanut butter this morning and I always feel so lost when that happens 🙂 I’m always in for two breakfasts, especially when it involves waffles!
terismyth says
Yum! I’m so hungry right now. Your photos are stunning. I must walk away from my computer and make your waffle recipe. I know my son will appreciate it too waking up to the aroma of vanilla waffles.
I admire you and your blogging. Every time I see one of your posts, I am reminded I have to make time to write my blog too. Way to go!
The Frosted Vegan says
Thank you for the kind words Teri!

I don’t watch Parks and Rec but I saw a photo of Leslie Knope saying that the other day and was actually jumping up and down in my seat thinking, “Yes. This woman gets me.” I also used to think that a waffle iron wasn’t necessary, but boy was I wrong. I’m so happy I have one now because waffles > pancakes… These lemon curd and raspberry waffles sound incredible and I love that you added almonds for crunch! My breakfasts are desperately in need of some excitement and I think these waffles will do exactly that 😉
The Frosted Vegan says
YES! Leslie Knope is my kind of lady!
Dollie says
Thank you a lot for this great post. I saw your books
earlier, but this one I believe the ideal. How did you find numerous
facts? I enjoy how that you organize everything,
since it’s actually simple to read. All in all, I can recommend this article to everyone who’s interested in that topic.
